The President Obama is, always associated with high hopes -- partly because in the way of his existence, that in the conviction that there are someone who can, or I just can not figure it out. I say, I can not help hoping for the better. I notice myself listing things up out of hopes that something could be done. To deal with China, to say something not in accordance with their likings, does seem to be an easy task, even with the polls that suggest they are in the opinion that Chinese economy is hurting the US's due to the trade imbalances.
The President's voice was harsh when the talk finished with the President Hu at the press conference. I saw the strain on the faces of people there. The press conference was held in such an atmosphere. If choking is not the word, that something kills your nerves. The rigid and fixed expression of the President Hu's face and his anger over the word human rights, was a flat refusal out of -- someone who knows where the power lies. He started with empty words, continue on with abstract, then finished off as scheduled. He does not like to be threatened -- naturally, for he has known to get it in an instant, with an order that involves something fatal. He is not to be understood. The human compassion is not something to be understood -- however easier in some cases with the people in the same religion, is a intricate and tangible part of human emotions.
The President Hu's tenor voice is high in tones, constantly and steadily flows, uttered in ceremonial way, and I do not know how they are dealing with him. Anything as easy as to checking food safety has never got the momentum. To whom are they selling those dangerous foods? The misery of the North Koreans and the abductees have never draw comments from any of the Chinese officials. The danger of nuclear and other arms race does not seem to get them to senses. They do not have ears. They only have powers associated with money coming through greedy enterpreneurs.
